A website is a virtual place on www i.e., the World Wide Web. There are multiple data files and web pages that can be accessed by all Internet users via a browser. There are many browsers such as Safari, Chrome, Firefox, and many more. Each website has an individual website address known as a URL. If that address is typed in the browser, you can reach the homepage of the targeted website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A website is divided into two categories i.e., static, and interactive. The static website captures the data of the user but there is no direct user engagement. Whereas the interactive site is a part of the Web 2.0 community and there can be direct interactivity among the website owner and the users or the website visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-is-a-web-app\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Web_App\"><\/span>What is a Web App?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A web application is an online tool that can be saved on a server and may be accessible from a browser.

To attract users, certain features need huge attention from the developers who are responsible for building the website for a top rated <a href=\"https:\/\/semidotinfotech.com\/services\/web-development\">website development company<\/a>.
